The 2.5L Rabbit is probably okay, though mpg is lousy for the HP. OTOH, the lousy mpg will be consistent!

The 2.0T in the GTI is going to be check engine light city.

Fit has no torque band. The Fit's lighter weight sucks on California's messed up freeway roads, unfortunately. Conspiracy, I tell you. Fit should be miles more reliable than Rabbit or GTI.

If I were VW, I would have used a VR4 before that inline-5 motor...
